The coffee behind the 2025 World Barista Championship victory! Grown high in the mountains of Panama, Finca Deborah is one of the world's most celebrated coffee farms, led by renowned producer Jamison Savage. Known for pioneering innovative processing techniques, Jamison has once again pushed the boundaries of what's possible with coffee. Aether begins with perfectly ripe Gesha cherries sealed in fermentation tanks and periodically infused with argon gas during anaerobic maceration. The coffee is then washed and slowly dried on raised African beds, creating an incredibly elegant and complex expression of Finca Deborah's exceptional terroir. This groundbreaking coffee helped secure the farm's third World Barista Championship title!

In the cup, we're finding an abundance of complex florals, effervescent acidity, and delicate notes of tropical fruit. This is a particularly elegant and nuanced coffee, so if you're looking to bring those flavors forward a bit more, we recommend brewing at a slightly tighter ratio of 16:1 or even 15:1. We reccomend slowing down with this coffee to taste it as the cup cools and the flavors open up.
